Main
Dr. Lain E. Pardo
I am a conservation scientist with extensive experience in ecology and biodiversity conservation in countries such as Colombia, Costa Rica, Australia, and South Africa. My research focuses on understanding species responses to anthropogenic disturbances to improve conservation planning, particularly for mammal species. I have participated in multidisciplinary teams where I contributed to research design and data analysis, decision making, monitoring, mentoring students, and project management. I am a self-motivated individual, and I want to pursue a position where I can implement evidence-based conservation approaches to reduce the accelerated rate of biodiversity degradation, while working alongside communities to improve their livelihoods.
